Hi, Is there some way to detect if the mount no longer "works"? There could be many reasons for this: network error, Windows server has been shut down, etc. I can of course periodically do this: > time ls -l /mnt/cifs/ ls: cannot access /mnt/cifs/: Host is down real 0m10.000s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s And use that error to umount, which is what I'll do if I don't have any other options. But I'm hoping for some timeout / auto-umount mechanism or some way to query if the mount is still "good", that doesn't take 10 seconds pr. mountpoint...
